Decapitated head found on pillow in Juárez

A decapitated head of a man was found atop a pillow late Wednesday morning on a Juárez street, police said.

Police said the head was left in public view on the street. The rest of the body was found in an abandoned building in colonia Chihuahua. The man had not been identified but appeared to be in his late 20s.

Decapitations occur regularly and are thought to be used to intimidate rivals as part of a drug cartel war, which has turned Juárez into the most dangerous city in Mexico.
